> Clearly intended for what we now call power users.

You would think that, but in the DOS vs Mac days a lot of non-power users advocated the DOS way, I still don't know why though. A Mac is a toy, was the argument back then.



People who call Mac toys have probably never used one for a good amount of time. There are legitimate ways to criticize Macs - this is not one of them.


You did read my comment, didn't you? I was talking about the DOS days, as in 'not today'.


Yes, I did read it. I'm implying that this hasn't changed - there's enough people who still think Macs are toys and a Windows PC is the computer for serious work.
